You can be sure that both RGIII and his Redskins teammates—along with other NFL notables—are loving the images of a completely new field, the constitution of which is a new bermudagrass sod mix specifically designed by Oklahoma State University horticulture experts in conjunction with the United States Golf Association. “Latitude 36,” as the lawn is called, started commercial production in 2011, and has a better pedigree than the team that will be playing on it: It captured the “top bermudagrass” award in the prestigious National Turf Evaluation Program.

So I tried looking for past Threads about this topic.....but couldn't locate any. Sorry Mod.

I could live with one of those hybrid upgrades that makes a small percentage of the field synthetic to strengthen the (natural) grass. But it's gotta be dirt under the field, not cut-up tires. A clean uniform at the end of a game is a shameful thing.

It won't meen a thing if they don't stop holding concerts and Army/Navy football games during the season, especially later in the season when grass just doesn't grow in the DMV.

I would prefer they didn't hold any other events from Sept - Jan, but at a bare minimum don't hold any events on the fields from Nov - Jan.

Hold all of the SCCA Solo or NASA autocross events that you want to hold in the parking lot, but keep the fields closed to all but the Redskins during the season. This is one avantage of owning your own stadium, you can control who you rent it to.

I doubt it. Snyder will charge what the market will bear, not what he wants to charge.

You doubt it why? Because Snyder has proven so willing to lose a buck and not milk every penny out of the team and Fedex field? lol. Those extra concerts and college football games generate millions of dollars.

That wasn't his point at all. He's saying he won't charge more for football gamesthan the market would allow, meaning he is already squeazing every penny he can out of Redskins fans.

I get that. My point a couple posts back though was that Snyder wouldn't cancel all of those other events without recouping the lost revenue.

I agree he can't raise ticket prices 300%, so he probably isn't cancelling all of the concerts and monster truck rallies no matter how much it would help the field.

P A T I E N C E - The Redskins will improve the product on the field if Dan Snyder just let's Scott & his FO do their jobs Dan needs to stop screwing things up and let Scott get this franchise back together
